2012 Eastside Road Neighbors Pinot Noir

Blended from unique sites along the Eastside Road ridgeline above the Russian River, the Eastside Road Neighbors offers an explosion of fruit on the nose and palate. On the nose, notes of blackberry, black cherry, mulberry and dried rose petals mix with subtle notes of sarsaparilla root. Round at the entry, blackberry and anise complete each sip, with hints of vanilla bean and wood spices on the finish. The excellent weight and balanced acidity gives a wonderful shape on the palate. This vintage can be enjoyed in its youth because of its lively nature but will age well and develop even more secondary aromas and flavors in years to come.
